Bad: Letter From a Ding-Dong

This is a discussion on Bad: Letter From a Ding-Dong within the The Second Amendment & Gun Legislation Discussion forums, part of the Related Topics category; Seems as if they're trying to use really big words to sound smart, but they never justify their point...
Guns should be limited to law ...

I have yet to hear of a murderous criminal who'll stop the mayhem to allow a victim under "the knife" to make a phone call to 911/dispatch.

I have yet to hear of such people as this letter writer explain how they expect to survive a violent attack if they find themselves lacking any effective defensive tools against an armed assailant.

I have yet to hear any logical explanation as to why a given person's reticence over having any effective means of self-defense equates to a right to dictate terms to all other citizens as to whether they themselves should be similarly emasculated in the face of crime.

I respectfully disagree with your assessment of psychology as it relates to the interaction between two humans sir.

When a certain perceived distressed individual uses the threat of physical force to cause bodily harm to my family or myself to
obtain something which was not earned by him/her through the normal course (that which is accepted by a large percentage
of the American society) of work/reward, the said individual has clearly conveyed his intentions to me; I understand him/her.

When I respond to the previously hypothetical situation with an equal amount of threat of deadly force in defense of myself/mine
with an attitude of denial to his/her "request" for unlawful and unethical gain by said force, it will be clear that I do not intend to
placate his/her request with abeyance on his/her behalf. He/she will understand me.

What I got from his statement is that he doesn't think people can agree on things, and that must therefore descend into physical confrontation to settle the dissagreement. That being the case, allowing us to have guns just escalates our inherent lack of self-control from to fist fights and beat downs, to shootings and murder.

We are all apes and can not control our primal urges, therefore, guns are bad.

And police are magically bestowed with self-control and righteousness when they pin on the badge and do not fall prey to the same temptaions and failures as normal man.
